Hi, I'm a person living in the North East of England who has schizophrenia. I have been in and out of hospital between 2001-2004. This blog will be notes about my experiences as a patient (aka client) both in hospital and in the community. I can be contacted via email to ian DOT bruntlett AT gmail.com (delete the "DOT", "AT" and spaces from that email address). What is schizopanic? Its the panic that flashes through someone's eyes when you tell them you've got schizophrenia.

Just been to Contact in Lynemouth - it is different to Contact in Morpeth. Fewer people but still ok.

Winter is coming - I've just had double glazing put in and it makes a big difference - I need to put the heating on less often.

Christmas meals are coming and this is the first Christmas since 2000 that I will be based outside of the hospital and the first Christmas I will have as a vegetarian.
